I believe there's scope for an outside area at the back. The problem would be how to access it from the bar (there is the small matter of two toilets in the way!). I also believe that there was talk at one point of extending upstairs. However, the flat above is apparently occupied.


I wasn't in this weekend to enquire what the situation is - has anyone else asked Bev and Steve yet? I am due to go in for a few drinks tomorrow night though ...


If it is definitely the case that they are selling up, then mini-Forum drinks are surely in order to commiserate the (potential) closing of my (and others') fave bar in ED.

The bouncers at the Bish are quite proactive in making sure people are not making a nuisance, not taking drinks out after 10pm, etc. I don't think the Cherry have any door staff to keep things in order. It's a pity though as it might be nice to have a few quiet drinks out back in the summer.

Seems to me a prime opportunity for the forum and community to give some feedback and support to the owners.


I recently returned to The Seacow, after the owner promised improvements after reading complaints registered on here. Guess what? He had made the improvements and things are looking up again.


So, what we would like to see in Inside 72 and what improvements could be made ...


e.g. Music quiz, football screen for mon nights, films showed, suggestions on easy to do simple food.


How about a forum drinks night there? The place will only thrive if the locals like it and support it.

I'll be popping in for a pint this weekend

we can and we will - horses for courses, but i've only been in once or twice and it's been a generally uncomfortable experience. much better sense to make room for a cafe or a shop selling attractive girly items for around the house that have no real use ;-)

that smiley might just save you bignumber5- hmmmmm


I'm with mostothers on 'ere - love the place and I'm in there at least once a week


but SteveT is spot on too re: The Castle. Old School as you like. I know some forumites live near there and witness "unpleasantness" but I like it. It was mooted as a forum drinks venue but some people were a bit anxious about the place. T'would have done them good to spend an evening in there I say. Failing that.... national service!

David, your comment about ?4,000 takings being good with a rent of ?20,000 is misguided. Of the ?4,000, take away VAT and then the actual cost of the booze and food and you are probably left with a gross profit of ?2,000 a week before all your costs: rent is just one. Rates are probably another ?10K a year, then you have salaries, wages, national insurance, utilities, insurance, building maintenance..with takings of ?4K a week the place can only be running at a loss.


Good luck to the Inside 72 guys.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
